At Redcliffe State High School, we aim to provide a remarkable range of academic, sporting, and cultural opportunities so that students can achieve our vision of 'Soaring Above and Beyond Expectations' at Redcliffe SHS (SABER) and celebrate their successes.

Programs of Excellence allow Out of Catchment (OoC) students who live outside the RSHS catchment to apply and be offered enrolment at the RSHS. Students in catchment for RSHS are welcome to apply for all selective entry programs.
